Description

We're thrilled to welcome back Kaite Welsh to our store to launch her new novel The Unquiet Heart on Friday 31st May at 6.30pm.

The Unquiet Heart is the second novel in her feminist historical crime series following medical student Sarah Gilchrist as she unravels more mysteries in Victorian Edinburgh.

Kaite will be chaired by author Sara Sheridan and there will be a book signing after the talk. Tickets are free but please book to avoid disappointment.

The Unquiet Heart:Sarah Gilchrist has no intention of marrying her dull fiancé Miles, the man her family hope will restore her reputation and put an end to her dreams of becoming a doctor, but when he is arrested for a murder she is sure he didn’t commit she finds herself his reluctant ally. Beneath the genteel façade of upper class Edinburgh lurks blackmail, adultery, poison and madness and Sarah must return to Edinburgh’s slums, back alleys and asylums as she discovers the dark past about a family where no one is what they seem, even Miles himself. It also brings her back into the orbit of her mercurial professor, Gregory Merchiston – he sees Sarah as his protegee, but can he stave off his demons long enough to teach her the skills that will save her life?
